Churchill, then Attorney-General of
the Territory, instituted legal pro-
ceedings and summoned him to show
cause why he should not be punished
for obtaining money under false pre-
fences. In his examination, Reavis
was entirely non-committal, claiming
that his title was being investigated
and would soon be reported upon.
Under oath, he stated that he had re-
ceiyed money from the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company amounting to
over $35, ,OO0-this for granting the
company a right of way over portion
of his domain. He also swore that he
had received S., 900 from the Silver
King Company for one OF his deeds to
that property. 1t has since been dis
covered that he never received any
sums of money whatever, neither
from the Southern Pacific or the Sill
yer King mine.
At this time feeling was running
high against Reavis and his 'clan,' =
and = public meeting was held at the
Court House in the city of Phoenix and
the initial steps taken to expose Its
fraudulent character. So hot did 1t
become that the "Baron" found it
conducive to his health to leave town
within two days, and has not since
hfssn seen in Phoenix. So sudden and
abrupt was his departure that he even
forgot to liquidate his bill at the hotel

unpaid
Whatever steps the people might
have taken in proving the utter falslty

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Involving the Question of Taking Timber
from Public Lands by Railroad Corpora

Involving the Question Of Taking Timber
from Public Lands by Railroad Corpora
tons.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-United States
Attorney Hobson, of Colorado, has for
warded to the Commissioner of the Cen
eral Land Office a copy of most i'm
portant decision rendered by Hon. Moses
Hall, United States District Judge for the
District of Colorado, in the case of the
United States VS. the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad company; deciding as to the
right of said Company to cut timber from
public lands under the Granting act Of
June s, 1873, and the General Right-of-
Way act of March 8, 1885, Conceding the
right of said road under the
Granting act to procure timber
for construction and repairs from public
land adjacent to that portion OF that road
completed prior to June s, 1882, and under
the General Right Way act for con-
struction only from lands adjacent to
that portion of said road cons tructed sub
sequent to June 8, 1882, the judge rem
dered the first judicial decision that the
Land Office has been able to obtain as to
the meaning of the words 'from the
public lancS adjacent to the line of said
road" as contained in the act mentioned.
The decision of the judge is that the
right to take timber from public lands
under said acts, extends laterally some
distance from the right of way, and to
such lands as may be reached by ordinary
transportation, by wagons, and not other
WISE The timber must be used for the
construction of the road at or near the
place where delivered, and if carried by
the road to points distant from the place
of taking, the company are liable in tres
pass for the whole.
He further held that the Government
was bound to prove that the timber was
taken from public lands. and having es-
tablished that fact, the burden of proof as
to where and for what purpose the timber
was used is upon the railroad company.
In the absence of evidence to prove that
said timber was used in place adjacent
to that from which it was taken and for
the purpose authorized by law, the Govern
ment is entitled to judgment. The amount
for which Judgment was rendered in these
two cases is 500, ,237.12.
lo 10 lulposSiplo W oooiihdoo pho Sioae
benefit that will accrue to the public from
this decision. Railroad corporations have
for years been despoiling the public of the
most valuable timber in violation of the
law, in utter disregard of the rights and
privileges of the bona fde settlers and in
defiance of their protests.
The decision of Judge Hall is in exact
accord with the rules and regulations pre-
scribed by Commissioner Sparks, under
date of August 90, 1885, and it is needless
to say that he will enforce them. 1t is
estimated that one million dollars are in
volved in cases of a like character now
pending, and there is now scarcely doubt
but that the Government will secure
judgment for the full amount in every
case.
Sharp County record., 1887-09-22
The Center of the Union.

An army officer now in Chicago asked
the other day: "Do you know where the
exact geographical center of the United
States is? Never thought any thing about
it, probably? Well, it's marked by grave
that of Major Ogden, of the United
States army, who died at Fort Riley, ir
Kansas, in 1855, during the cholera epi
demic of that year. Major Ogden's re-
mains were afterwards removed to Fort
Leavenworth and buried in the National
Cemetery there, but his monument still
stands on a knoll little to the northeast
of the post-Fort Riley-and it lifts its
head toward the clouds in the exact geo,
graphical center of the United States.
This isn't a conceit; it's fact, though
probably of the hundreds of men now at
the fort, not one in hundred ever stops to
think about it, Fort Riley is few miles
east of Junction City, KaS., and is one OF
the most important cavalry posts in the
country"

Signal Stations to be Abandoned.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 16.-The signal office
has decided to discontinue the signal
station at Mount Washington, N. H., dur
ing the winter months, and resume opera
tions there in June when the railroad
trains begin to run again. If any scient-
lists want data from Mount Washington,
Lieutenant Craig, who is now acting chief
signal officer, says the observation of the
last fifteen years, which can be had at the
signal office, will probably be sufficient for
all necessary calculations. The station at
Pixies Peak, COL, is also about to be aban-
doned as the observations at so high an
altitude a. d not regarded as of sufficient
value to warrant the further continuation
Of their Sc.
